Abstract:
Glass-fiber reinforced cement (GRC) is a new kind of composite material developed in recent 30 years and it is one more important achievement of high and new technology used in composite material. Introduction is made on the following aspects, such as GRC material and its characteristics, characteristics and practical cases of GRC curtain wall and roof, structural design and mechanical property of GRC curtain wall plate, production and installation of GRC curtain wall, joint design and special sealant of GRC curtain wall, etc., and engineering cases are cited herein for GRC curtain wall. GRC has many advantages, such as light weight, high strength, heat insulation, waterproof, fireproof, favorable processability and reasonable price, etc. Its surface texture and partition can be designed through formwork according to the design concept, so as to create fabulous surface effects. GRC curtain wall and roof shall be promoted in domestic architectural industry as soon as possible.
